Finally got a reply from Support.... 
Not a thing done to help, and some of the most stupid suggestions given... 
 
q. Fans Running Full Speed after windows Starts  a. "What about the GPU temperature while Fan is ramping up its speed ?" well the answer to that answer is Room TEMP
 
A. "I would recommend inspecting the fan area on the card to see if there are any wires or foreign materials that are making contact with the fan, causing any interference. " well I am an engineer, and anything interfering with a fan blade will stop it turning or reduce its speed, so how is that going to make a graphics card suddenly start spinning up 3 fans full speed???
 
A. "If this is not the case or doing this has no effect, I would recommend removing the card from the system and placing it on a non-conductive surface, then placing downward pressure on the center of the fan hub to try to realign the fans, then place it back into the computer and see any improvement."
 
ok once more I had said it had been out and cleaned, but I might agree with the pushing of the fan Downwards, this would be if the impellor blade had departed from the spindle, and the motor was running up full speed as it had no resistance from the fan blades... but NO the sound is different, and you can see the fans do it through the glass door!
 
A> "Have you tried setting Manual fan curve using EVGA PrecisionX1 ?"
 
This one would be sensible (ish) the card worked perfectly, its a factory overclocked FTW3 you do not need to overclock it. but I had already said, that ALL FANS RUN UP FULL SPEED, START DEFAULT PRECISIONX1 2 FANS TURN OFF , 1 GOES TO 20%. shut down precisionx1 until the fans ramp up[ again.
 
The card never needed the software to keep the fans correct before, so why should i now have to use software to get it running correctly????
 
"If problem continues please do send us short audio or Video recording of behavior for internal Analysis",
 
ok Cecil B. Demill / Martin Scorsese , its ready for its close up, its makeups done, its looking all fresh and alluring, but i cannot get a video of Start computer - Load Windows - Fans Go Full Speed in less than the 2Mb you allow for Uploads... so I have no way of getting you this , I even tried GPUz and grabbing screenshots of the action as it happened,  I can only Load 1 or 2 at a time I need you to see all 5 (yes i know, i did put it in 4 additional questions!) 
 
Whats the fault???
 
How do I fix it???
 
do i need a Bios Refresh???
 
do I need to RMA the card???
 
Do I need to put the 850w PSU back in WITH the 1000W and dedicate that only to the GPU?
 
Do I need to switch to my Mac ONLY?
 
Do i Need to once more reinstall windows or Linux?
 
So many Questions that could be asked.... 
 
Problem - Start windows All Fans Run up to 3300rpm and stay there , (load GPUz and the pause slightly 1 second, then go back up) , Start default presisionx1 and 2 fans stop the other goes to 20% (as it came it think) , how do i get it back to the way it was and stay there (until of course the thing needs to spin up the fans to stop boiling) 
 
Just as well I have been in the house for 11 month not going anywhere, as this would have sent me to the bar long ago!!!

Thought I had a Possible Fix... LMAO, NOPE!! Amazon have agreed to take the card back for a Full refund as it is no longer available, So I no have 7 days to find a New graphics card...
 
Probably not a snowballs chance in hell, I have been on the waiting list for ANY of the RTX300 Series cards since November, and do not know when i will get there. Nobody nor their Dog has any RTX 2080's either, I refused to Buy a 2080ti, so choice is Get another make of RTX 3090, or switch back to my 980Ti FTW and wait until you can actually buy Graphics cards..
 
or simply just accept that a faulty RTX 2080 Super is better than nothing...
 
What a World we live in....
 
For myself. friends and work I have been able to buy EVGA graphics cards at any time, now since October of last year its really a no go... I think the biggest mistake I made was to refuse several other companies in preference for EVGA, now the knives getting stuck in deeper lol
 
Who brought the knife to a gunfight???

Did you already send the GPU back? Which BIOS on the GPU are you using?

JFord047
Not Yet, only got the authorisation hours ago. And it was dark here in Scotland, spent 3 hours trying to find a replacement
 

Which BIOS on the GPU are you using?

90.04.7A.00.9E just looked on GPUz.... could not see it in presisionx1 (but oh the instant silence was worth  starting it)
 

Bios Switch has been pushed to "Go Faster Mode" since day 1, put into case and never changed...
 
if it was going to be noisy or start 100% 3 fans when starting windows, it should have done it on day 1
 
But I have tried switching it over to go slow mode in December... No Difference then, but have not tried it in January lol
 

Very True!
 
40 years as a computer engineer / 20 of those as a network consultant... I am still learning lol
 
But I covered the basics pretty much on day 1, I do not call in support until I have tried everything else

Have you configured your PX1 to start when Windows starts? If yes have you tried uninstalling PX1, or at least telling it not to start together with Windows?

Just to be clear, I did not want rid of the Card - just a fix! and the option of returning it to Amazon, is really as bust as NOBODY has any graphics cards - EVGA or otherwise. I have been on the list for the RTX 3080 FTW since November 2nd. So I am still looking at the EVGA equipment  - this has not put me off EVGA. In the past I have had EVGA Graphics cards fault, and until now, I never had a bad word to say about EVGA Support responses. 
 

ZoranC, 
 
thanks, makes a lot of common sense , this is the first Card i have had since the GTX280 that has not been hydro-copper (those are just the best) I have been logging with GPU-z, and a couple of things did jump out, I have just spent the day playing Grand Theft Horse with my wife, sure enough the fans had ramped up, but after starting PX1 and setting the fans to ALL 50%, then shutting it down , they stayed there happily 
 
the 2 warning ones in my mind are MEM 2 which was 6 degrees higher than MEM1 & MEM3, and PWR5 was at 72 centigrade whilst all the rest of the PWR sensors were at 65 centigrade 
 
stopping the game and running the fans all at 100% dropped the temps rapidly, since typing this MEM2 (27) and PWR5 (29) are still 1 degree higher than the rest of them mems are 26 , pwrs are 28, cpu 26
 
switching to the non overclocked Bios has no effect, and when i started using the card oc on . i had noticed that only fan 1 was ever running , you had to play 4K games Full everything for 4-5 hours before either of the other fans would even trickle on.. this was fine for 6 months , then it started to change, going from hmmm to horrendous in a month
 
I know that starting PX1 with the computer will help noise, but it does not seem to control the fans!! if i set it to the default of 20 - 0 - 0, then thats where it stays and the card bakes , if I set it to 50 - 50 - 50 same result the fans stay there, but the card maxes out at 72 degrees.
 
my gut says there is a temp sensor fault  , I would love to strip the card right down and get a meter on it, but sods law says that i will make things worse. 

I got the UK number for EVGA Tech Support and Called
 
Advanced RMA Sorted in less than 10 minutes, now thats the EVGA I know and love lol.
 
don't care about how long it will take, as now I know somethings getting done!
